Editing Andy Warhol (section)

==Art works==
=== Paintings ===
By the beginning of the 1960s, pop art was an experimental form that several artists were independently adopting; some of these pioneers, such as [[Roy Lichtenstein]], would later become synonymous with the movement. Warhol, who would become famous as the "Pope of Pop", turned to this new style, where popular subjects could be part of the artist's palette. His early paintings show images taken from [[cartoons]] and advertisements, hand-painted with paint drips. Those drips emulated the style of successful abstract expressionists such as [[Willem de Kooning]].

From these beginnings, he developed his later style and subjects. Instead of working on a signature subject matter, as he started out to do, he worked more and more on a signature style, slowly eliminating the handmade from the artistic process. Warhol was an early adopter of the [[silkscreen]] printmaking process as a technique for making paintings. His later drawings were traced from slide projections. Warhol had several assistants through the years, including [[Gerard Malanga]], [[Ronnie Cutrone]], and [[George Condo]], who produced his silkscreen multiples, following his directions to make different versions and variations.{{sfn|Colacello|1990|p=28}}<ref>{{Cite web |last=Amadour |date=February 15, 2023 |title=15 Minutes with George Condo |url=https://lamag.com/art/15-minutes-with-george-condo |access-date=September 9, 2023 |website=LAmag – Culture, Food, Fashion, News & Los Angeles |language=en}}</ref>

Warhol's first pop art paintings were displayed in April 1961, serving as the backdrop for New York Department Store Bonwit Teller's window display.<ref>Smith, Patrick S (1986). ''Andy Warhol's Art and Films''; UMI Research Press; p.98; {{ISBN|978-0-8357-1733-5}}</ref> For his first major exhibition in 1962, Warhol painted his famous cans of Campbell's soup, which he claimed to have had for lunch for 20 years.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Campbell's Soup Cans |url=https://bng.bm/art/campbells-soup-cans/ |access-date=2025-04-13 |website=Bermuda National Gallery |language=en}}</ref> Warhol began to make paintings of iconic American objects such as dollar bills, [[mushroom cloud]]s, [[electric chair]]s, cans, [[Coca-Cola]] bottles, and celebrities such as [[Marilyn Monroe]], [[Elvis Presley]] and [[Elizabeth Taylor]], as well as newspaper headlines. His work became popular and controversial. Warhol had this to say about Coca-Cola:

{{Blockquote|text=What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you know that the President drinks Coca-Cola, Liz Taylor drinks Coca-Cola, and just think, you can drink Coca-Cola, too. A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the Cokes are the same and all the Cokes are good.<ref>{{Cite book |first=Andy |last=Warhol |title=The philosophy of Andy Warhol: from A to B and back again |publisher=Harcourt Brace Jovanovich |location=San Diego}}</ref>}} In 1962, Warhol created his famous ''Marilyn'' series. The Flavor Marilyns were selected from a group of fourteen canvases in the sub-series, each measuring 20" x 16". Some of the canvases were named after various candy Life Savers flavors, including ''Cherry Marilyn'', ''Lemon Marilyn'' and ''Licorice Marilyn''. The others are identified by their background colors.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Marilyn |url=https://richardpolskyart.com/rpaa-andy-warhol-catalogue-raisonne-addendum/catalogue-listings/marilyn-2/ |access-date=November 16, 2021 |website=Richard Polsky Art Authentication |language=en-US}}</ref>

Warhol produced both comic and serious works; his subject could be a soup can or an electric chair. Warhol used the same techniques—silkscreens, reproduced serially, and often painted with bright colors—whether he painted celebrities, everyday objects, or images of suicide, car crashes and disasters, as in the 1962–63 ''Death and Disaster'' series.<ref name="Sotheby's-2013">{{cite web |url=http://www.sothebys.com/content/sothebys/en/news-video/blogs/all-blogs/contemporary/2013/11/record-warhol-leads-.html |title=Record Warhol Leads Contemporary Sale |website=Sotheby's |date=November 14, 2013 |access-date=December 4, 2013 |archive-date=January 15, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150115022939/http://www.sothebys.com/content/sothebys/en/news-video/blogs/all-blogs/contemporary/2013/11/record-warhol-leads-.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

Some of Warhol's work, as well as his own personality, has been described as being [[Keatonesque]]. Warhol revelled in the role of "monosyllabic oddity," playing dumb to the media.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Shore |first=Robert |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kK4gEAAAQBAJ&dq=Keatonesque+warhol&pg=PA1947 |title=Andy Warhol |date=2020-03-02 |publisher=Orion |isbn=978-1-78627-791-6 |language=en}}</ref> He sometimes refused to explain his work.

His [[Rorschach inkblots]] are intended as pop comments on art and what art could be. His cow wallpaper (wallpaper with a cow [[Motif (visual arts)|motif]]) and [[oxidation]] paintings (canvases prepared with copper paint that was then oxidized with urine) are also noteworthy in this context. Equally noteworthy is the way these works—and their [[means of production]]—mirrored the atmosphere at Andy's New York "Factory". Former ''Interview'' editor Bob Colacello provides some details on Andy's "piss paintings":

{{blockquote|Victor&nbsp;... was Andy's ghost pisser on the Oxidations. He would come to the Factory to urinate on canvases that had already been primed with copper-based paint by Andy or Ronnie Cutrone, a second ghost pisser much appreciated by Andy, who said that the vitamin B that Ronnie took made a prettier color when the acid in the urine turned the copper green. Did Andy ever use his own urine? My diary shows that when he first began the series, in December 1977, he did, and there were many others: boys who'd come to lunch and drink too much wine, and find it funny or even flattering to be asked to help Andy "paint."{{sfn|Colacello|1990|p=343}}|sign=|source=}}

In 1984, Warhol was commissioned by collector and gallerist [[Alexander Iolas]] to produce work based on [[Leonardo da Vinci]]'s ''[[The Last Supper (Leonardo)|The Last Supper]]'' for an exhibition at the old refectory of the Palazzo delle Stelline in [[Milan]], opposite from the [[Santa Maria delle Grazie (Milan)|Santa Maria delle Grazie]] where Leonardo da Vinci's mural can be seen.<ref>Claudia Schmuckli, [http://pastexhibitions.guggenheim.org/warhol/ "Andy Warhol: The Last Supper" (June 1999 – December 2001)] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090116161414/http://pastexhibitions.guggenheim.org/warhol/ |date=January 16, 2009 }} [[Guggenheim Museum SoHo]].

Artist [[Maurizio Cattelan]] describes that it is difficult to separate daily encounters from the art of Andy Warhol: "That's probably the greatest thing about Warhol: the way he penetrated and summarized our world, to the point that distinguishing between him and our everyday life is basically impossible, and in any case useless."

=== Drawings ===
Despite being most known for his work in printmaking, particularly silkscreen, Warhol was also a very skilled illustrator and draughtsman. His early drawings on paper provide a feeling of ease and immediacy since they have similarities to both blind contour and continuous line drawing techniques. Warhol pioneered the blotted line technique, which combined aspects of printmaking and graphite drawing on paper, while he was working in commercial advertising. The drawings from his last years demonstrate the skill and technique that have been refined over the course of his illustrious career.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Network |first=Artnet Gallery |date=April 18, 2023 |title=Spotlight: A New Exhibition of Andy Warhol's Late-Career Drawings Reveals His Enduring Passions, From Fashion to the Animal Kingdom |url=https://news.artnet.com/buyers-guide/spotlight-long-sharp-gallery-andy-warhol-life-well-drawn-2286832 |access-date=April 19, 2023 |website=Artnet News |language=en-US}}</ref>
